The Orbit Bassinet Cradle was perfect for our newborn baby! Our daughter slept in it days and nights from the moment she came home from the hospital, until we moved her into her crib at around three months. Of course anyone would want to buy the Orbit on style alone, but the functions and practicality were just as amazing! LOVED the compact size and mobility as it was lightweight and easy to move up and down the stairs, and our baby could sleep soundly during transit as well. The soft inside cushion is machine-washable, and we also liked the option of the rocker, which can rock front-to-rear or side-to-side. We passed the bassinet along three times to various friends with newborns after our daughter outgrew it, and it still looks brand new. Only regret....I wish we had bought the entire Orbit System!

LOVE IT!! This was one of my first experiences with the Orbit System and I can't say enough great things about it. My son was a large baby at birth (9.4 lbs), and he slept comfortably in the Orbit Bassinet until he was ready to transfer to his crib. I really liked the versatility of the system and think my son spent most of his time in the Orbit Bassinet during his first 3 months of his life. The Orbit bassinet made it easy and smooth to transfer my son in and out of the cradle and up and down out of reach of his older brother. I also did some traveling with the Bassinet and loved knowing that my son was going to sleep well in his familiar surroundings. A definite must for new moms!

My daughter slept exclusively in the Orbit bassinet for the first 3-4 months of her life. It was extremely functional as a bassinet by the bed as well as a pram when I docked it onto my Orbit stroller. I loved using it as a pram when we walked through the park and to move her around the house during naps. Plus when she was especially fussy, pushing the pram around was a great way to calm her down. I also love the fact that the bassinet is extremely portable and lightweight. If you are on the go, it easily collapses to fit into it's own carrying case. I found this really useful when we travelled to visit relatives and friends because as you know napping in a new environment isn't easy. By bringing her own "bed" we eliminated one unknown and she slept much better because of it.
